Leon was your typical guy, perceived as weak in his school because his skills hadn't awakened, even though they usually did at the coming of age. He attended the prestigious Milham's Magic Knight Academy, where snagging the top spot meant automatic entry into the esteemed position of a Magic Knight in the country. Unfortunately, Leon found himself in the lower caste, labeled the most useless student. To top it off, he was tossed into a class that served as a sanctuary for oddballs and delinquents. Yet, he couldn't care less, as becoming a Magic Knight wasn't his goal.

Everything shifted when he crossed paths with Shredica, a woman hell-bent on becoming a Magic Knight at any cost. Observing Leon's lack of ambition and his apparent detachment from the academy's pursuits, Shredica saw an opportunity. She decided to exploit him as a pawn in her ascent through the academy's hierarchy.

Yet, unbeknownst to Shredica, Leon was not the complacent, unremarkable figure she presumed him to be.

I decided to steer the conversation in a new direction.

"Can I ask you something else? Something completely unrelated to romance or the Eclipse?"

"I don't want to air issues about someone who isn't here and hasn't given their consent for their problems to be discussed, but her situation is getting pretty messy."

"Okay, so what's this person's problem?" he asked.

"I'm not quite sure how to put this…" I said, then met his gaze. "You're currently in a relationship with someone, right? I've heard you're dating the Princess of the Bethlan Kingdom."

"That's right," he confirmed with a nod.
